Myers Industries Announces Second Quarter 2024 Results

Strong Signature Systems performance improves second quarter results

Actions taken in the second quarter to reduce costs and leverage productivity gains; executing against previously communicated target of $7M-$9M in annualized cost savings by 2025

Full-year guidance lowered to $1.05 - $1.20 for adjusted earnings per share, primarily due to continued demand pressure in Recreational Vehicle, Marine, and Automotive Aftermarket end markets

AKRON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Myers Industries Inc. (NYSE: MYE), a leading manufacturer of a wide range of polymer and metal products and distributor for tire, wheel, and under-vehicle service industry, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

• Net sales of $220.2 million compared with $208.5 million in the prior-year period
• Net Income of $10.3 million, compared with $10.6 million in the prior-year period
• Adjusted EBITDA of $38.9 million, compared with $24.7 million in the prior-year period
• GAAP gross margin of 34.3%, up 150 basis points versus the prior-year period
• Adjusted gross margin of 36.1%, up 320 basis points versus the prior-year period
• GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.28 compared with $0.29 in the prior-year period
• Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.39 compared with $0.35 in the prior-year period
• Cash flow provided by operations of $14.3 million and free cash flow of $9.9 million

Myers Industries President and CEO Mike McGaugh commented, “Our second-quarter results reflect the Company’s first full quarter with Signature Systems. This business is benefiting from worldwide investments in Infrastructure and helped drive both sequential and year-over-year revenue growth and margin expansion. Signature’s performance outpaced the demand headwinds in the Recreational Vehicle (RV), Marine, and Automotive Aftermarket end markets.”

“We continue to focus on growing our Storage, Handling & Protection portfolio, most notably our four power brands: Akro-Mils, Buckhorn, Scepter, and Signature Systems. We believe our increased participation in the Military and Infrastructure end markets will provide meaningful growth for our Company over the next several years.

At the same time, we are taking actions to reduce costs and increase productivity in the Engineered Solutions and Automotive Aftermarket portfolios. These actions include the consolidation of three distribution centers in our Myers Tire Supply business, as well as today’s announcement of the consolidation of our Atlantic, Iowa, rotational molding facility into our other rotational molding plants in Indiana. We are able to reduce our footprint and reduce our cost structure, due to the productivity gains we’ve achieved. We expect these closures to be completed in 2025 and deliver approximately $5 million in cost savings in 2025 as well.

Our ongoing productivity-improvement and cost-reduction initiatives will help us navigate the cyclical demand conditions in the RV, Marine, and Automotive Aftermarket end markets while positioning the Company favorably for when these conditions revert to historical levels of demand.”

McGaugh concluded, “As a result of continued trough-like demand conditions in these end markets, we believe it is prudent to lower our full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance to a range of $1.05 to $1.20.

Myers’ consistent and disciplined execution of our Three-Horizon strategy and the expansion of our portfolio of branded products enabled us to achieve the highest quarterly adjusted EBITDA margin of the past decade. Despite the near-term demand softness in select end markets, we remain excited about the ongoing transformation of Myers Industries as we execute against our long-term strategy to build a portfolio of businesses with high margin, branded products that Move, Store, and Protect.”

Net sales were $220.2 million, an increase of $11.8 million, or 5.7%, compared with $208.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in net sales was driven by contributions from the recent acquisition of Signature Systems, partially offset by lower pricing and volumes in both the Material Handling and Distribution segments.

Gross profit increased $7.1 million, or 10.4%, to $75.5 million, driven by performance at Signature Systems, favorable product mix and lower material costs, partially offset by lower pricing and volume, as well as adjusting items related to acquisition and restructuring expenses. Gross margin improved 150 basis points to 34.3% compared with 32.8% for the second quarter of 2023. On an adjusted basis, gross profit increased 320 basis points to 36.1% from 32.9%. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million year-over-year, or 1.3%, to $51.7 million. SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased to 23.5%, compared with 25.8% in the first quarter of 2024 and 25.1% in the same period last year, driven in part by lower incentive compensation accruals, reflecting Myers’ full-year outlook and cost-saving initiatives. Net income per diluted share was $0.28, compared with $0.29 for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.39, compared with $0.35 for the second quarter of 2023.

Items in this table may not recalculate due to rounding

Net sales for the Material Handling segment were $166.0 million, an increase of $22.7 million, or 15.9%, compared with $143.3 million for the second quarter of 2023. Sales from the addition of Signature Systems were partly offset by decreases, primarily in Recreational Vehicle and Marine, but also Food & Beverage and Consumer end markets.

Operating income increased 15.6% to $28.7 million, compared with $24.8 million in the second quarter of 2023. Operating income margin of 17.3% was flat compared with the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA increased 39.0% to $41.5 million, compared with $29.9 million in the second quarter of 2023. SG&A expenses increased year-over-year, primarily due to incremental SG&A from Signature, partially offset by lower expenses for professional services and incentive compensation. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 420 basis points, primarily attributed to the Signature acquisition, partially offset by lower sales volume and pricing in the legacy business.

Distribution

	Net Sales		Op Income		Op Income Margin		Adj EBITDA		Adj EBITDA Margin
Q2 2024 Results	$54.3		$2.2		4.0%		$3.8		6.9%
Q2 2023 Results	$65.2		$3.4		5.2%		$4.7		7.2%
$ Increase (decrease) vs prior year	($10.9)		($1.2)				($0.9)
% Increase (decrease) vs prior year	(16.7)%		(35.9)%		-120bps		(20.1)%		-30bps
Items in this table may not recalculate due to rounding

Operating income decreased $1.2 million to $2.2 million, compared with $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 20.1% to $3.8 million, compared with $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in operating income and adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower volume and pricing, offset partially by favorable sales mix and material costs. SG&A expenses decreased year-over-year, primarily due to lower payroll costs and lower variable selling expenses. The Distribution segment's operating income margin was 4.0% compared with 5.2% for the second quarter of 2023. The Distribution segment’s adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.9%, compared with 7.2% for the second quarter of 2023. The Distribution Segment continues to implement pricing and cost actions to counter cost inflation and improve margin.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s cash on hand totaled $37.3 million. Total debt as of June 30, 2024, was $409.0 million. Under the terms of the Company’s loan agreement, its net leverage ratio was 2.6x and it had $231.4 million of availability under its revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2024. For the second quarter of 2024, cash flow provided by operations was $14.3 million and free cash flow was $9.9 million, compared with cash flow provided by operations of $22.9 million and free cash flow of $16.7 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in free cash flow was driven primarily by increased interest expense and investment in working capital, partially offset by contributions from Signature. Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2024 were $4.4 million, compared with $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2023.

2024 Outlook

Based on current exchange rates, market outlook and business forecast, the Company is providing the following outlook for fiscal 2024:

• Net sales growth of 5% to 10%
• Net income per diluted share in the range of $0.76 to $0.91
• Adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.05 to $1.20
